The Moskvich 6 liftback made an appearance at the Manege Station transportation exhibition, part of the Moscow City Forum. This detail comes from Automatic Review and sets the stage for what audiences could expect from a new entrant in Russia’s market.
During the display, observers noted that the vehicle stood behind a barrier and sported heavily tinted windows, with booth staff declining to open the interior for any closer inspection. There was no official schedule announced for the car’s formal rollout at that moment, leaving enthusiasts and trade press alike awaiting further details.
In terms of the Russian market strategy, the Moskvich 6 is planned to be offered in three trim levels. The base configuration is slated to feature a 136-horsepower engine, while the higher-end variants will upgrade to a 174-horsepower unit. This tiered approach mirrors common practice in the region, where buyers can choose between efficiency-oriented setups and more robust performance without leaving the brand ecosystem.
Industry observers have noted that the Moskvich 6 appears to be a derivative of a Chinese model widely recognized as the JAC A5 Plus. In China, the starting price for the basic version is reported at 65.8 thousand yuan, which translates to around 850 thousand rubles based on current exchange rates. The linkage to a familiar Chinese model has been a talking point as analysts evaluate the potential value proposition, feature set, and reliability of the Moskvich 6 in a competitive market segment.
In parallel, there have been reports about the rollout of new models in the broader SUV segment. Notably, The Haval H5 is being presented as a contemporary option in China, with the base configuration priced at 150 thousand yuan (approximately 2 million rubles). This context highlights the ongoing dynamics in the Chinese-originated family of vehicles and the various price bands manufacturers are pursuing to capture different buyer niches across major markets, including North America and Europe. The emergence of these models underscores the strategic moves by automakers to offer value at multiple price points while expanding access to modern features and design language that resonates with contemporary consumers.
